Today was our last full day in HCMC. We are flying out tomorrow afternoon for Hanoi. We had a busy day of paperwork, and Claire had her doctors appointment. She weighed 16 pounds and was 25 inches long.
We finished up our shopping. We completed our goal of purchasing 18 gifts, for the next 18 birthdays. We also were able to find a quilt store, and we bought some wonderful things there. Claire has 2 new beautiful quilts, and I know she will appreciat having all these things from her birth country someday.
Claire continues to do well. She is sleeping about 12 hours at night, and takes a couple of naps throughout the day. I am sure that will all change when we get back to the states, and we try to get her on our schedule, but that is ok. She is such a sweet, loving baby. She just melts when we hold her. She also does well to just play on the floor. We were not prepared to have a fully mobile baby. She is crawling, and then pulling herself up onto anything she can find. She is so fun.
We are loving Vietnam. The Vietnamese are such caring, kind people, and would do anything for us. We also love Dillon staff. They are amazing, and have made sure that we have everything we need. They too are very kind, and we would not have been able to do this without them.
I will try to post a couple of pictures from today, and we will post more about when we will be able to come home later.
Easton and Keaton, we love you and miss you. We cannot wait for you to meet Claire. She is going to love you guys. Have a fun week. We will talk to you tonight. Love, Mom and Dad.

She is just a doll! Have a great trip to Hanoi.
I love the flower hat! It is clear you have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to dress a girl =). Glad to hear you've enjoyed Saigon and hope that the rest of the journey goes smoothly for you!
Claire is just beautiful--and looks so happy in her girlie clothes!
I'm so glad you guys are doing well. Travel safely!
I haven't had a chance to check in for a while, but I'm loving all the pictures of your beautiful daughter. What a blessing!
Claire really is a beauty! Congratulations. Glad things are going smoothly...shopping in Hanoi is good too! Enjoy! From the mom of 2 of the other beauties from Vietnam. Susie R
Claire is precious! She appears to be adjusting well. Congratulations!
Hey Heidi,
I remember being with you when you bought those outfits. They are so cute and I am so glad I can see them on her. She is so precious.
